Biography:
Giuseppe Albini studied in Pavia from 1845 and worked at the anatomical institute under Bartolomeo Panizza (1785-1867) 1846-47. In 1848 and 1849 he fought as a common dragoon, corporal and Fourier in the war of liberation. He continued his studies in Milan in 1850, but changed to Vienna in order to avoid continued political surveillance. In Vienna he became assistant to Ernst Wilhelm Ritter von Brücke (1819-1892), then went on an educational journey to the universities of Breslau, Berlin, Göttingen, Halle, Leipzig, Bonn, and Utrecht. In 1857 he was appointed extraordinary professor of physiology in Krakow, becoming ordinarius the next year.
In 1859, following the liberation of the Lombardy, he assumed the modest position as a professor of natural history at the Lyceum in Casal conferrato. Few months later he was made professor of physiology in concours in Parma, and in 1860 was called to the University of Naples. He rejected a call to Florence to succeed Moritz Schiff (1823-1896), and remained faithful to Naples, where he contributed several thousand liras to the establishment of an international hospital built on a broad basis of political and religious tolerance. It was later taken over by the Committee of the International Hospital at the Corso Vittorio Emmanuele.
His numerous publications in both German and Italian concern chemistry, microscopical and gross anatomy, experimental physiology as well as public education and popular lectures. In 1853 he published on the poison of Salamandra maculata.
